Fabulous staff who really attended to their clients with care and competency. The suite was a pleasure to stay in and exceeded expectations. Experience of staying in a former palace authenticated well against the backdrop of Madrid.

Staying at Palacio del Retiro was an exquisite treat. From the moment Elba checked us in at the front desk, we felt at home. Juan Carlos was always at the ready to assist us with bags or cabs when we needed them. Marimar and Rosalba gave us wonderful service every morning during breakfast. Jimena helped us find restaurants and places to go. And Yarelys gave us great service in the lounge when we returned in the evening. The experience and the service was second to none. I highly recommend this place.

The gentleman who checked us in was incredibly helpful and the room was extremely comfortable. The hotel is beautiful, too!

The staff was exceedingly helpful.
The location with the view of the Retiro park was unbeatable. You could walk to most city attractions. Nice shopping and dinning near by

Great property, very well located and incredible staff

This small, boutique luxury hotel is quaint and centrally located. The staff are very helpful. There's a nice (for Europe) daily breakfast. Complimentary umbrellas are available during rains. Rooms have a wonderful blend of traditional furnishings with modern features. Full gym. You must return your physical room key when you leave the hotel to go out. They still have physical keys. I didn't like having to give my room number out each time I returned so I made sure there were no other people within earshot.

So under-rated its a hidden gem, just a stone throw away from Retiro Park. A 15 mins liesure walk to Atocha Station and 20 to 25mins walk to Zara and Mango Shops and Corte Ingles plus museums. Less crowded area compared to staying at Gran Via or places near Purta del Sol
06.06.2025 Chris
The best thing of this hotel it’s the location, just opposite to one of the most beautiful parks in the world Parque del Retiro, the hotel is nice but not luxurious, the spa area is depressing, there is no valet to help you with your luggage and quality of towels and bed linen should be better for the price they charge.
Breakfast is nice, the female staff are more friendly and efficient than the male employees in the restaurant.

We arrived from the airport at 7 am and Guillermo welcomed us with open arms. He offered us some coffee before anything was open. He shared a map of the city with some places to visit. He also offered to store our luggage until our room was ready. The rest of the Feont Desk staff were very helpful and attentive but a special shout-out to David the bellman who was Super and always went out of his way to assist us in any way possible . The hotel, service and all of its amenities are top notch. The breakfast buffet was always fresh, tasty and constantly refilled and hot meals were made to order as part of the buffet.
